Discovering

(Or rediscovering) Hamlet - Nicki Greenberg's beautiful new version, thanks to the fabulous Snarkattack, who invited me along to see Nicki talk about the creative process behind the book.

Eating

  • An enormous serve of bangers'n'mash and a nourishing pint of Kilkenny at the Town Hall one dismal Tuesday evening.
  • A "Chachi" - chianina meatball sandwich - another brioche donut and some amazing chocolate tart at Beatrix, which Essjay has reviewed.
  • A lazy Sunday lunch at The Crimean. The Polish hunter's stew (bigos) was just the thing to revive me after a chilly bike ride.
  • Generous piles of fried food with oodles of chillies and sichuan peppercorns at Sichuan House
  • Succulent suckling pig at Liberteene.
  • An array of bright, zesty flavours at Chin Chin, where the only problem was having to choose only some of the items from what looks to be a menu that is all hits, no filler.

Who needs a dog?

By injera, on July 11th, 2008

Thanks to Rufus, we have to hide the toilet paper. I think he’s half puppy, quarter parrot, quarter kitten. At least he’s making sure to get enough fibre in his diet (although I was still reading the TDF guide, Rufus).

    One of my cats does that! His favourite thing to attack is a rug, and generally speaking it emerges unscathed, but when the rug is just too much hard work he attacks scraps of paper. The funniest incident (in retrospect) was when he tore up my sister’s Maths homework.

    I love Rufus’s indignation, though. He looks like he’s making some argument about how the newspaper’s in his home too, not just yours. My cat hightails it when we catch him tearing anything up… even the rug. He always thinks he’s about to be shouted at.

    Oh, no! My cat ate my homework would be beyond embarrassing as an explanation. I hope her maths teacher was understanding. Rufus is currently eating a boarding pass. I don’t think it has been used yet. It’s ok – he’s moved on to the Lonely Planet “Beijing” guide.
